Legal claims defining the scope of protection. Each claim is shown in both the original legal language and a plain English translation.
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising: dividing a namespace in a central storage location into more than one cell, wherein a first cell is a common cell, wherein the common cell is configured to store management data received from remote storage locations coupled to the central storage location, and each of the remaining cells are configured to store object data received from a respective one of the remote storage locations; storing management data received from the remote storage locations in the common cell of the central storage location; receiving object data corresponding to the management data received from the remote storage locations; and storing the received object data in the respective cells of the central storage location.
This computer-implemented method manages multi-site data replication. It starts by partitioning a central storage location's namespace into multiple cells. One cell, designated as the "common cell," is specifically used to store management metadata received from various remote storage locations connected to the central storage. Each of the other cells is then configured to store the actual object data originating from one specific remote storage location. The system proceeds to store the management data it receives from these remote locations into the common cell. Afterwards, it receives the object data that corresponds to this management data and stores each piece of object data into the dedicated cell associated with its originating remote storage location within the central storage.
2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , comprising: implementing a modified consistency hashing algorithm configured to route updates of the object data received from the remote storage locations to the respective cells in the central storage location.
